Correction on the techies part.

After testing him in the new version, force staff and Aghanims are a must for him. Ags not only adds damage to his ulti but also cast range (900 cast range) and that force staff is just the answer to gems. So he has been buffed. You can force staff gem holders into bombs or stasis and cast bombs at a good distance. Bloodstone/Force/Ags are the immediate target items from IMO.

Ags has seem to break the game, it’s also insane on Pudge.

For Tauren’s inventory, it looks like it’s refresher orb. His ulti deals 35% of the amount of hp he has so having double of that seems nearly broken.

And fuck Daydrinker.

Edit: Damn force staff on techies! Force staff an opponent on a stasis or bombs, this too good.

Just played the new update today, interesting stuff. Dunno how I feel about the new Razor yet.

Chen looks like he needs to be banned, seriously. Ags are cheap in price now and he can easily rush for it the fact that it gives him a 30 sec cooldown for his ulti is too game breaking. I’m not exagerating this, it’s seriously game breaking. He can heal his creeps, making them nearly immortal and support the teams health twice a minute. The team will never die.

Now seeing how significant his Lvl6 is at near mid game (since the HP ranges from 600-1100) with out Ags; ones Chen gets Ags he is able to give heal 400 HP in a minute, equip a Mech on him and seriously the team will never fear going in. 120 - 30, that is just too much.

yo is there an srk clan/team that coordinates via vent? i played a while back and maaaaaaaad shit has changed, though i am looking to step into it a bit more srsly this time.

1585

Bloodseeker is so fun.

1586

Add mkownsu on East.

EDIT: defcon are you the defc0n on #srkgd? Just join #srkdota .

1587

Pudge hook/tiny toss into mines are fun too

But the best is Vengeful Spirit lvl 3 swap into mines from max distance.

Wait a minute, Cisco is talking about HIMSELF when he does that shit? I thought he was talking about some good player or something… lol funny joke.

^_-;

i just like vacuum because it’s the easiest, plus you can get easy and shit double/triple kills. although pudgehook = stylin’ on yo bitchass!

but VS is also really good but you won’t be able to do it until really late in the game.

ALSO, the new razer seems really really really really good. as in, the new first ban good.

1589

Tauren is so godly.

1590

My Tauren is godly, just ask iAmLothar.

Stun = channel for 1.4 seconds

I channel for 1.3 seconds then press move.

Trying to figure out how his shit works, and don’t notice 5 people coming at me clearly on my minimap

I even managed to miss his ult once or twice!

1591

Jeebus is really good at DOTA.

imo.

1592

The aura of TC is just too funny, reducing innate spell resistance etc to 0, that’s just so fucked up. I was very generic on him earlier, just bracers, bf, van’s, and a void… refresher seems part of his build though.

I’m just loving the new Techies.

1593

Haven’t played in a year and a half or so (lol eGames).

All about that Anti-mage~

1594

AM got better because manta is actually a really good item to get on him now.

1595

And his ult does splash damage!

1596

Looks like shiva or maybe diffusal is needed for Tauren, it just makes his skills allot easier. Just finished a game with treads/bottle/bracers/shiva. Shiva seems to combo nicely with his skills… Thank god for the H1N1 scare suspending schools till the 22. HAHA. The greatest poster is assuming ruby should be given to him based on my understanding of his 3rd skill… haven’t tried this yet… but then again, refresher on him is powerful as well.

1597
